From what I heard, in York, England, it's legal to shoot any scotsman caught out after dark with, wait for it, a bow and arrow! AWESOME!!
There's a similar law pertaining to Welshmen found inside the walls of Chester after midnight.

I think these are both overriden by modern murder laws though :p
Amazingly, these laws can override modern murder laws, but only if these murders are commited at a precise time and you have a good solicitor.
Who tested that out? Actually in Chester at least you would probably get a medal.
No one to my knowledge has tested out these laws but, I did law at college and one of the lessons was out of date laws, and my tutor said and I quote ' with a lot of luck, you can bypass any modern law with an old law depending on the circumstances and how good your solicitor is.'

For you, perhaps. I'll continue using the cream given the immense difference it makes with respect to my personal comfort.

Nope. I shave without cream as well, it really makes no difference. Just remember to wet your face and go slow and straight, you'll be fine. Saves a lot on money :D

-the universe is estimated to be approximately 93 Ym across (thats 93 with 25 zeros meters)
-we cant see anything in the universe that is more than about 14 trillion light years away, because this is approximately how long the universe has existed, so anything further than 14 trillion light years would take longer than 14 trillion years for its light to reach us, which is longer than the universe has existed
That last point totally blew my mind :S

You will swallow an average of 8 Spiders while you sleep during 1 year?
That statistic was released as part of a study to see whether or not people would believe something if they read it over the internet. It's actually false in reality.

Did you know earwigs have two penis', one for "special occasions"?

on a mans head 30-60 metres of hair is growing every day
That can't be right. Metres? I'd think millimetres.
Think about it. There are anywhere between a million and two million hairs on your head. Each hair grows about .3 or .4 millimeters a day. Between both of these estimates that gives us a range between 30 meters and 80 meters a day. I will admit I doubt the upper estimates.

Hm it does make sense when the maths is done, and now I know roughly how many hairs we have.

OT: Brazil Nuts, Peanuts, Coconuts, Pistashio Nuts, Almonds, Horse Chestnuts, Beetle Nuts, Cashews, Monkey Nuts, Pine Nuts are not Nuts. They're seeds and fruits, except Peanuts that are peas.

Many more too.

OT: The Camel Spider isn't actually in the Arachnid family (also see this picture of a camel spider bite I found)

No, not personal experience.

Also, that bite looks more from a brown recluse rather then a camel spider. In fact, I'm almost positive it was a brown recluse bite. That's Necrosis. :O[/quote]

O_O This guy can say "bye bye" to a big chunk (if not whole) of his hand...

The colour Magenta doesn't technically exist, it's created by our brains because we cannot grasp the true form, as TV Tropes says.

But the universe is no more than 14 BILLION years old

Some blue diamonds are natural semiconductors, in contrast to most diamonds, which are excellent electrical insulators.
